AD0-E132 Sample Questions & Answers
Most of the weight sits with hands-on implementation: building components, editable templates and client libraries. The rest covers keeping content pages organized, getting bundles and packages onto the system, and managing user access alongside OSGi settings.

Content Creation · Replication agents
You are managing a global e-commerce AEM environment with a complex author-publish topology. The architecture consists of one Author instance, two Publish instances, and two Dispatchers serving traffic to different geographic regions.
Recently, the marketing team launched a flash sale. Authors reported that when they activated the new promotional pages, the content correctly appeared on the Publish instances. However, end-users in certain regions still saw the old, cached version of the homepage for up to 12 hours.
You have verified that the replication queue from the Author to both Publish instances is clear and successful. You also confirmed that the Dispatchers are running and serving traffic correctly.
Which configuration is most likely missing or misconfigured in this topology causing the stale content issue?

Correct answer: D
The Dispatcher Flush agent is responsible for sending invalidation requests to the Dispatcher when content is activated. In a standard setup, this agent is configured on the Publish instances to notify their respective Dispatchers that the cache is stale. If this agent is misconfigured or missing, the Dispatcher will continue to serve cached content until the TTL expires, even though the Publish instance has the updated content.

Content Creation · Forward and reverse replication
In a traditional AEM architecture, what is the primary purpose of a Reverse Replication agent?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Reverse replication is used to bring User-Generated Content (UGC), such as comments or forum posts, from the Publish tier back to the Author tier so it can be managed and subsequently replicated to other Publish instances. Modern AEM implementations often use AEM Communities with a common store (MSRP/ASRP) instead, but traditional reverse replication serves this specific UGC retrieval purpose.

Content Creation · Template policies
When configuring Editable Templates in AEM, which TWO of the following can be defined within a Template Policy? (Select TWO)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answers: B, D
The Style System is natively integrated into Template Policies, enabling administrators to define predefined CSS classes that authors can select in the authoring interface. Template policies map these Style System classes to components, providing non-technical authors with visual styling options without requiring code modifications.
Template policies in AEM dictate the design and authoring constraints of components. You can define which components are allowed to be dropped into a layout container, and you can map specific Style System classes to components to provide authors with visual styling options.

Content Creation · Policy mapping
In AEM's Editable Template architecture, how is the mapping between a content node on a page and its corresponding policy resolved?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
In Editable Templates, the linkage between a specific component or layout container on a page/template and its governing policy is established via the
cq:policyproperty. This property holds a relative path pointing to the actual policy configuration node stored under the tenant's/confdirectory.
